DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE. What is demo version ?

For you who do not wanna use SimPE and want to try how this mod will behave. This is chance-based mod, so there can be a long sims time before you experience the effect it offers. So, this DEMO version is made so that you can try and experience first in your game before you put the actual mod in your game. This demo version will give you :

The length of mood swing/midlife crisis set to 2 days instead of random picked in spesific intervals.

UPDATES :

Fix conflict with my mod "prom + after school activity " that make a sim get wrong personality point after having mood swing, if "prom + after school activity " installed and after school activity event occured.

Make duration of teen mood swing and adult midlife crisis configurable, to accomodate those who has long age duration hack. Now, duration of mood swing for teen by mod default is 1/5 of teen life duration to 1/3 of teen life duration (that is 3 to 5 for original game default). The default for adult midlife crisis is now from 1/7 of adult life duration to 1/3 of adult life duration (that is 4 to 10 days for original game default). But both of these duration is configurable as shown in picture number 5 ( give the value -1 to make it mod default). No change for pregnancy, still will be last for pregnancy period. "min check period adult midlife crisis (days left)" and "max check period adult midlife crisis (days left)" is the time span when the mod start to execute the possibility of adult midlife crisis. By game default without aging duration hack, it starts to check whether midlife crisis occurs from 24 days left (max value) to 5 days left (min value). If you are not sure about the value, just leave it -1 by default.

Re-upload with the fixed-duration-configuration version. The previous fixed-version is the unconfigurable one. My mistake for making unupdate file upload.

Fix blank aspiration after pregnancy mood swing. But for existing sims that has blank aspiration after pregnancy before the most updated version (modified date 02/14/2018 2:xx AM) has to use cheat to restore the aspiration. use boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, then click shift+click the sims, then spawn, then simmodder. On the baby doll that appears choose aspiration and change aspiration. After that turn off testingcheatsenabled and delete the simmodder doll. Very very sorry for this bug.

Fix BHAV conflict with inTeen.

Delete all other flavour from download tab except "all" version, to simplified the mod maintenance in the future.

First things first :Compatibility :
This mod is not compatible with base-game-only. The resources I've overriden are taken from Apartment Life, but in the coding also contains functions and constants from Freetime and University

What does this mod do ?
This mod gives you three kind of main events based on wants-refresh event (so, the events that this mod offered only happened on want/fear check or want/fear refresh). These main event are :

PREGNANCY MOOD SWING

Quote:

There is 20% chances for each wants/fear check or refesh will gives your pregnant sims a mood swing.

Mood swing will lasts during pregnancy and will be stop shortly after giving birth.

During mood swing, for every wants/fear check or refesh, your sims personality will be randomly changed and your sims primary aspiration also will be randomly changed (but not their original primary aspiration and secondary aspiration).

In rare odds, you sims also can get Grilled Cheese aspiration as primary aspiration.

When change personality and primary aspiration, all of your sims' want/fears will be refreshed. So quickly locked want/fear that you like to fulfill

After giving birth, your sims' personality and primary aspiration will be back to normal (as before the mood swing), so don't worry

In case during mood swing, if you add secondary aspiration as same as your sims' original primary aspiration, after mood swing ends, their aspiration will be randomly changed into other aspiration, so beware of giving your sims secondary aspiration during mood swing.

This mod does not affect lifetime want, lifetime point reward, etc.

TEEN MOOD SWING

Quote:

There is 5% chances for each wants/fear check or refesh will gives your teen sims a mood swing. There is additional chances based on your sims' mood. The lower your sims' mood, the bigger the chances, for maximum 15% additional chances.

Duration of mood swing will be randomly picked from 3 to 5 days (configurable using SimPE, see update section below).

In the beginning, your teen sims' personality will be randomly changed and your sims primary aspiration also will be randomly changed (but not their original primary aspiration and secondary aspiration). And after that, during mood swing, for every wants/fear check or refesh, your sims will have 12,5 % chance (3 times coin flip) of primary aspiration changing and 50% of personality changing.

Teen sims will never get Grilled Cheese as their main aspiration.

When change personality and primary aspiration, all of your sims' want/fears will be refreshed. So quickly locked want/fear that you like to fulfill.

When mood swing ends, your sims' personality and primary aspiration will be back to normal (as before the mood swing), so don't worry

Growing up or move to college also will ends mood swing and bring back your sims' personality and aspiration back to normal.

In case during mood swing, if you add secondary aspiration as same as your sims' original primary aspiration, after mood swing ends, their aspiration will be randomly changed into other aspiration, so beware of giving your sims secondary aspiration during mood swing.

This mod does not affect lifetime want, lifetime point reward, etc.

ADULT MIDLIFE CRISIS

Quote:

Midlife crisis only happened from 2/6 to 5/6 of your adult sims' maximum duration. Original game setting without mod, adult can live until 29 days, so midlife crisis only can be happened from 6 to 25 days since your sims become adult (24 days left to 5 days left).

During that period, there is 5% chances for each wants/fear check or refesh will gives your adult sims a midlife crisis . There is additional chances based on your sims' mood. The lower your sims' mood, the bigger the chances, for maximum 15% additional chances.

Duration of midlife crisis will be randomly picked from 4 to maximum 1/3 of adult duration days, so for original game swtting without mod, it will be 4 to 10 days (configurable using SimPE, see update section below).

In the beginning, your adult sims' personality will be randomly changed and your sims primary aspiration also will be randomly changed (but not their original primary aspiration and secondary aspiration). And after that, during midlife crisis, for every wants/fear check or refesh, your sims will have 50 % chance of primary aspiration changing and 50% of personality changing.

Sims can oly have "Grow up" aspiration and their original aspiration to be randomly picked during midlife crisis (yeh right, your adult will be have grow up aspiration again)

When change personality and primary aspiration, all of your sims' want/fears will be refreshed. So quickly locked want/fear that you like to fulfill.

If "Hangout After Work" mod is installed, for every after work activity happened, except for unpaid overtime, can fasten duration of midlife crisis for 1 day.

When midlife crisis ends, your sims' personality and primary aspiration will be back to normal (as before the midlife crisis), so don't worry

Your sims will have "get through midlife crisis" memory when midlife crisis ends.

Growing up also will ends midlife crisis and bring back your sims' personality and aspiration back to normal.

In case during midlife crisis, if you add secondary aspiration as same as your sims' original primary aspiration, after midlife crisis ends, their aspiration will be randomly changed into other aspiration, so beware of giving your sims secondary aspiration during midlife crisis.

This mod does not affect lifetime want, lifetime point reward, etc.
